It's a bad analogy. This dead technology has a superior UI to iOS and Android and will keep delivering content competently for years even without updates. Further, there is still a vibrant homebrew dev community.
Lastly, the Touchpad can run ubuntu Linux and with this surge of devices out in the wild, someone is bound to port Android to the device.
For $300 it's not worth it. For $99 or less, it's a good deal.
EDIT: I forgot to add that Touchpad comes with a lifetime 50GB box.net account, so it's worth it just for that.
